: My daughter was just diagnosed with ADHD - Inattentive.: My husband and I are unsure on whether or not we should medicate her. I heard that Adderall works well with the "Inattentive" type of ADHD with less side effects than Ritalin. My pediatrician has not seen any documentation on Adderall. I am looking for any information on the drug. Or any help someone can give us.

I am an adult w/ ADD. I am pregnant now so I am not on Adderall now but I took it from 2/99 to 5/99. It helped me so much but there were a few little side effects. Weight loss and brusing on my legs were the 2 most drastic. I will go back on after the baby is born.
